Thread: PETS Travel Scheme

This might not be an attractive suggestion either but thought I'd mention it just in case you'd not thought of it already... you can hire pet sitters. They can either come and 'live' at your house or you can arrange for them to visit as often as you choose. They feed and water them, (apparently they'll fuss them and play with them if you pay extra - how anyone could NOT fuss and play with a cat - paid or otherwise - is a mystery to me, but there you go).

I've not used them so can't speak with any experience. But it might be a preferred alternative to a cattery if your friend can't stay. Depends on how you feel about someone having keys to your house though.

This is not a recommendation - we've considered using a sitter but I'm blessed with awesome neighbours and a cat-loving sister so we've never had to use sitter or cattery; but it's just another idea to mull over.
